Bike Bus employs qualified Bike Guides

 Our guides not only take you straight to the best spots, and not only have Dordogne knowledge that would put a local to shame, but they are fit as a fiddle and can ride like the wind. However, though our guide may have Championed the Dordogne at one point, these Guide Rides are about relaxation for leisurely folk working of last night's Foie Gras. 		Bike Bus Hubs
Our bikes are present at several locations around the Dordogne allowing you to turn up and hire a bike on any day. It is preferable to reserve in advance though. 		Those who survived to write back

"Hi Joel
we are back from our awesome trip. The biking was definitely the best part. I hate my bike now after riding yours."

Guide Ride everyday from our Hubs

However, no hill is too steep, no terrain is too rough and no tea shop is too far. He will inspire the most feeble, encourage the most defeated, and coax the youngest peddlers.
He is the purest of Bike Bus guides. The best of the best. Diety in Lycra.

Come and judge it for yourselves. He is going to be present at all of our HUBS with a Guide Ride on 4 days during the week. The rest of the time he'll be mucking in with the rest of us cleaning the bikes, driving the van and popping around telling everyone how wonderful we all are. I think he's going to have a great time, so please come along and join in.
